Hillier Nurseries – Peat free compost supplies for field grown, semi-mature tree stocks in Hampshire

The Project

Hillier are renowned growers of British trees, having supplied landscapers across the UK for over 150 years. Their semi-mature trees are field and container grown at Hampshire nurseries covering 700 acres and supporting 150 varieties. Hillier Trees nurseries have been peat free for several years, so required materials which would meet their sustainability and environmental standards.

The Brief

We were contacted by Hillier to help support their field grown, semi-mature tree stocks. Compost supplies were needed for three sites across Hampshire where Hillier Tree nurseries grow top quality trees in a carefully managed cycle.

The Timeline

We have been working with Hillier since 2019, and to date have supplied thousands of tonnes of our 10/25mm compost to help support their tree growing programmes. Most recently we supplied 600 tonnes into Andlers Ash nursery, located in Liss, near Petersfield in Hampshire.

The Materials

The Outcome

Our organic peat free composts provides outstanding growth results across Hillier tree planting sites, and working together over the past six years has created a strong relationship with the nursery team.
